Summary
King of off-road adventures and open-air escapades, Jeep is adding a brand-new model to its iconic and exceptional lineup: the 2026 Jeep Recon VEB, a 100% electric vehicle. With remarkable capabilities and impressive technical specifications, it gives a promising glimpse into what the manufacturer has in store for the future!
While we are still awaiting several details, we already know that the power levels are estimated at around 500 horsepower and may even reach up to 600 horsepower with a more performance-oriented trim. A total of four trims are expected, with a base price around $60,000.
As you await the opportunity to book your test drive for the brand-new 2026 Recon VEB, with a release date anticipated in September or October 2025, here are all the details we know so far about this exceptional new Jeep vehicle!
2026 Jeep Recon VEB: Trims and Prices
Although official data is still pending, we do know that the new Recon VEB will be offered in four trims, each more exceptional than the last. These include the already popular Trail, Overland and Rubicon trims, in addition to an even more performance-focused version, the Moab.
The latter will proudly feature Jeep’s Trail-Rated badge, indicating vehicles that have undergone rigorous testing to confirm their outstanding off-road capabilities. These tests cover five key characteristics: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording.
This badge is synonymous with reliability and toughness under the most demanding off-road conditions. It comes as no surprise that a Jeep model can overcome these challenges with ease!
Regardless of whether your selected trim carries this badge or not, you can certainly expect the legendary off-road capabilities for which the manufacturer is well known.
Estimated base prices are around $60,000 to $70,000.
2026 Jeep Recon VEB: Interior and Exterior Design
The new Recon will share family resemblances with other Jeep models, including the Wrangler and the Wagoneer, while retaining a style uniquely its own. It will showcase a more rounded, streamlined and futuristic silhouette than the rugged Wrangler, yet with a posture that is more robust and adventurous than the more refinement-oriented Wagoneer.
Its purpose is clearly aimed at off-the-beaten-path adventures, which is especially true for the Moab trim. You can therefore expect unforgettable excursions, and all without a drop of gasoline!
The interior of the new 2026 Jeep Recon VEB is expected to offer a “reimagined and refined design” according to the manufacturer. We will have to wait a bit longer for further details.
2026 Jeep Recon VEB: Technical Specifications
Even though we do not have official data regarding the technical specifications of the new 100% electric Jeep model, numerous bits of information hint at the fact that we will not be disappointed with the power levels and performance offered.

As mentioned above, a performance trim could also be offered, capable of producing up to 600 horsepower and 617 lb-ft. of maximum torque. This is yet to be confirmed.
Towing Capacity and Cargo Space
We do not have official figures regarding the towing capacity for the 2026 Recon. However, we do know that the manufacturer’s offerings are always very generous, and often among the best in their class.

Charging Times and Range
The electric range for the Jeep Recon VEB is expected to be around 483 km. Official charging times remain unknown.
2026 Jeep Recon VEB: Dimensions
Once again, we are awaiting the official dimensions for the new Jeep Recon VEB, although it is expected to feature a similar size to the Wrangler in both length and width.
Its size could also be comparable to that of the two-row Cherokee, which is also built on the STLA Large platform.
2026 Jeep Recon VEB: On-Board Technologies and Amenities
